Ridley Scott Reveals the New Alien Movie is “Fu***ng Great”

Relatively recently, multiple reports surfaced about Ridley Scott revealing his insights about the much-anticipated new movie in the Alien franchise.
Music: Atlantis by Audionautix • Atlantis - Audionautix
Fede Álvarez wrote and directed the movie, and out of respect for Ridley Scott's original vision for the franchise, he showed the completed version of the film to Scott for approval.
In a series of discussions, Scott revealed some aspects of the plot and provided his perspective on the film’s direction. Many of us had been eagerly awaiting "Alien Awakening," which was expected to pick up David’s storyline. Contrary to these expectations, it has been announced that an entirely separate feature, titled "Alien Romulus," is set to emerge as the next chapter in the alien franchise. The production of "Alien Romulus" is not only underway but has been completed, despite almost no information about this movie.
For some reason everything about this new Alien installment has been kept in secret. However recently Ridley Scott shared his thoughts on the film. But before diving into that what Ridley said, here's some general context about "Alien Romulus" and everything we know so far about the movie including these major aspects:
Today, we'll cover everything we know so far about the upcoming movie. We'll look at:
• The Release Date
• The Cast
• The Trailer Release Date
• The Plot and The Timeline
• The Role of Engineers
• Ridley Scott's Comments
• Lastly, the Analysis and Predictions of What to Expect.
The movie is set to be released on August 16, 2024, and it received a stamp of approval from Ridley who said that “it’s fu…ing great” in addition to few other things.
One notable detail about Alien Romulus is the young cast, which is unrelated to any characters from previous films in the Alien franchise. Also Sigourney Weaver won’t be returning as Ellen Ripley and she said that “the ship has sailed” on one interview when discussing the possibility of reappearing in another alien film. It is a bit disappointing that Ripley won’t be part of the frachise, on the other hand by having a completely new, young cast the studio might be planning to release multiple movies in the future keeping the same characters.

I was fascinated by Prometheus despite the terrible script, but Covenant ruined it for me... just seemed like a generic fanmade movie. I was also unhappy with the idea that David created the aliens in a random cave in five minutes.... seemed silly and lazy. In a way, it was always more scary that the Alien was the product of millions of years of evolution. A great film would have been a middle film with David and Shaw by themselves travelling on a ship. Ironically the story that never made the film would have been infinitely better.... moving away from the alien slasher in space.

One word scares me more than Aliens did when I watched it as a kid: Disney- Ruiner of Franchises. Aliens and Disney seem like a most contrasting mix; I have little hope. Maybe NECA will make a few new Alien action figures after the movie, that's about all the hope I have for a Disney led Aliens. Sad. Agree with Kroft, at this point and despite the issues with the last two 'aliens' movies, I'd rather see the conclusion of Davids story and more about the Engineers. Sigh.

Scott was going for something unique, fresh, he was trying something! Was forced to put the Alien back in his story and everything went to garbage! And now, I might never see an end to that story! If people wanted to see the Alien again, just go watch the previous movies, or play a game or whatever! Or just wait for when the time is right! Don't push it! There was no "alien" written in the tittle "Prometheus"! Sorry, but I just get pissed at this missed opportunity for a great story.

I feel you on that sentiment. Although I would remain optimistic in that Ridley Scott has essentially laid the groundwork for any future Alien movies that will delve further into the Prometheus premise. He still seems invested in the franchise overall and it will only be a matter of time before this new director or another ambitious director/writer decides to take on what Scott has laid out for them to expand on. He has such a devoted following of talented writers and directors that I'm sure at some point it will happen. and in the not too distant future.

We knew exactly why Nostromo was redirected to LV 426. It was to recover a life form. And the crew was expendable. That was iterated quite succinctly by ash before he puked up milky lubricant, after attempting to rape Ripley with a magazine. And also when the captain was in the special room with Mothers a computer. I think he sees that it says cruise it is expendable or was it Ripley who sees crew is expendable. Oh that’s why Ash raped her. She was in there getting the information. Then she got mad went after Ash, and then he went bonkers. I think. No matter it was covered in the film why they were redirected to LV 426 and that the crew was expendable and ash was to recover the life form. And the company had an idea that Ash could survive better than the human beings, because he was a machine.

Scott was out declaring he wouldn't be making any more films in the Alien franchise - thus also abandoning the prequel trilogy - after the reception of Covenant saw the intenet community of 'fans' abusing him for ruining the (their) storyline. This would seem to be final affirmation of that. I hope not, though. I really, really, _really_ want to see what David's up to and how it ties together with the Nostromo happening on the derelict on LV462. There are still so much unanswered between the end of Covenant and the start of Alien.. I guess I'll be in theaters right along everybody else when "Romulus" comes out.

It's probably better left to the imagination tbh. The arc for the character is completed - he has become God over the trapped colonists and can create. Its a grim ending but it suits the character. I think one of the worst tendencies of recent movies has been to try illuminate minor parts of background, or continue on past a stories natural end. The SW franchise wasn't really improved by the Han Solo origins movie for example. Sometimes its better to start a new story than try drag out an old one.

I am looking forward to this one and hope it is a good one it seems like there is potential from your video but i am uncertain as to any content as you had not said much if anything for a trailer. i hope your right about disney not wanting to disappoint the fans on this one as they are slipping up on a number of properties as are other production companies lately it seems as if we are in another era of bad movies and not many good movies are coming out but i hope this is the beginning of a new era that changes that.

Disney's involved. My most beloved franchise is going to the shits then. Nice work. Additionally mentioned, I find it extremely disappointing that they do not conclude the Prometheus/Covenant/David story. I might be one of a few, but I actually love Prometheus. Covenant is a mixed bag. Because I believe Ridley should have kept on doing his original thing with Covenant and not giving in to the idiots who just wanted to see a frickin xenomorph. I would have loved it to see more of Elizabeth Shaw.

Didn't u think the cast in covenant was a total downgrade? 1 known good actor in the crew and they kill him min 1. Except fassbender but he was in the last movie too so.. And they act like total m0r0ns... a robot that is known to be dangerous.. and they just accept whatever he says.. even when they are warned about mental effects of 10 yr isolation. Why did they not just shoot the fuck out of him when safe and then make their robot access his memory to get the truth. An insane robot is clearly a safety risk. And when the captain didn't shoot him on the spot when he caught him kissing a monster and David was super upset while he cared fuq all about the person the monster had killed. Instead he takes a sight seeing tour... and goes down in a dark smelly cave with 0 backup and just takes David's word for it that "its nothing dangerous.. and even has a grin while saying it.." Such stupidity from a captain of a starship is beyond belief.. a monster with acid for blood.. ok.. I can get behind that.. but this is too much. The crew all acted like they were just thrown into their roles and they had zero research into how persons in such a role would act to make it believable. And Texas putting the ship at risk to get contact.. when they have 6000 ppl onboard... for 10 ppl.. they are 100% expendable if they can't make it up. Since he could take the lander down.. why didn't he just fly that a bit closer to get contact instead of risking the starship.. who knows? And the crew being couples.. would never happen... bcoz of this exact reason. Ppl will risk life of others to save their partner. And then shooting like a liberal that never touched a gun in a room where they store explosives... they give guns to every member but never trained to use them? And then u have her locking her crewmember in with the alien.. bcoz infection risk.. even though she herself is covered in blood and she is freaking out like a teenager... did they do any psych screens on the crew? If u act in total panic in stressful and unexpected situations.. u ain't the person for the job. It's like if an airline pilot gets a dual engine failure and instead of acting they just say it's not happening and goes to the toilet for a cry. It's a sci-fi so u expect science to not be realistic.. but if it's a starship or a battleship, ppl still need professional behavior, know their job and not act like a mental case at first sign of trouble. Covenant could have been good if they had a total different crew, kept Naomi alive on paradise as David's prisoner.. to give dna fir experiments. And bcoz he loves her.. she is a secret until the crew finds her and she tells them the truth of David. Also they should have given 5-10 min screen time to show us paradise ppl lives and their relationship with engineers in ships.. could be explained when they saw ship arrive. The biggest fault of promethous was not explaining ANYTHING about lv233(?), having such a short interaction with the engineer. They could have kept it longer... not having weyland at site when they wake him.. he talks with shaw n David.. he explains what happened here.. why they were going back to earth to destroy it etc etc.. Shaw maybe even convince him that humanity has changed. Then David wakes weyland and he understands that humans are still the same.. cruel, egocentric, etc.. so he decides to continue his mission.. fighting happens to stop him etc etc action etc... something like that. It would explain more.. not leaving ppl wanting for answers. That didn't get answered one bit in cov.

What worries me more than the words "disney involvement" is that 90% of the negative comments will still watch it. That will give it air time, viewer numbers and then get it renewed again and again. Negative reviews don't mean dirt so long as viewings are high enough to provide revenue, like rings of power, almost universally hated, but getting a second season. Just don't look at it and it will go away.

The ship sailed when Alien3 was released without continuing Ripley's, Newt's, and Hick's story as originally envisioned. Then a muddled story comes along with Prometheus that can't continue David & Shaw's story as originally intended, resulting in Covenent. It's like when Disney killed The Star Wars EU - yet is now repurposing parts of SW EU non-canon (i.e. Thrawn) lore to shore up their Disney Wars lineup of failure.
